This week, Adam Sandler Month takes on The Waterboy and Big Daddy, two classics that helped lock in Sandler’s ‘90s superstardom. We’ve got rage tackles, courtroom stunts, bedtime accidents, and a surprising amount of heart. From Bobby Boucher’s bottled-up fury to Sonny Koufax’s last-minute dad instincts, we dig into what makes these characters work and why they’re still so watchable. It’s football, fatherhood, and full-on Sandler chaos, and somehow, it all still lands.
